using option 82 to assign a static ip-address

[perl-list]

Glen, 

Don't mean to hijack the thread but... 

Is that right? I did not know that if you simply do not enclose the match text in quotes that it would match binary info!! That de-screws something that I have been struggling with! Some option 82 from some manufacturers is binary, others it is ASCII. If I simply can match in this manner ... 

Does this work for ASCII as well or only binary? 

hmmm - what to do if the text that the manufacturer sends is something like: VLAN 1 Port 4

> and substring(option agent.circuit-id, 5, 1)) = e;
